ADDISON
(LENAWEE COUNTY). "WE
CAN SAVE YOU MONEY ON A PIANO / COLLER, ADDISON." with the horse-drawn
delivery wagon of E. M. Coller Pianos & Organs, signage on side mentions
sewing machines & nearby Tecumseh, next to several crates of upright pianos
shipped from New York by Kroeger; sepia-tone Cyko real photo postcard with
good focus, message written on back also in red 'Let us make you prices and
terms on pianos'. Kroeger & Sons pianos are still noted for their
exceptional quality & design, somewhat simpler than the highly carved
Victorian styles. The Addison part of the caption is a small village in
Lenawee County; the Tecumseh on the wagon may be in case the onlooker had
not heard of Addison. Sold but front
side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan
(publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75. m(a)mhag

'about October 1st', horse & buggy & early auto at the curb, & 'ELECTRIC
LIGHT / IS THE ONLY WAY' sign; unused color postcard made in Germany,
published for Farmer Fred in Battle Creek. Quite fresh for its age and rare!

/ ADRIAN

Greetings from / University / of Michigan" postcard mailed there 1907, album toning, small

200-dpi scan in .jpg format. $2.00

BATTLE
CREEK (CALHOUN COUNTY). "First Locomotive In New Grand Trunk Shops / For
Repairs, Battle Creek, Mich." suspended by crane, postcard with subtle
colors published by Valentine & Son, mailed JUN 20 1914, minor corner wear.
Wikipedia uses this postcard to illustrate its article on the Grand Trunk
Western Railroad; but what it says on the locomotive is 'Grand Trunk' not
'Grand Trunk Western', so if it was for both, then the imprecise caption is
understandable. In any case, seldom offered. Sold but front side still
available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan
(publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75. m(b)r(g)i

Detroit, Mich. / 7158" showing its exterior with people nearby; unused

Detroit, Mich." including many pedestrians & 2 horse-drawn buggies; postcard
mailed 1914 to Shelby Ohio & forwarded to an RFD address in Tiro Ohio, long
lower corner crease, other corner & edge wear is minor. Interesting
information about the island's history on back. Nicer than the black & white

readable signs--Ely Hardware, Wee Sandwich Shop, Stover & Sons Market, etc.;
Kodak real photo postcard with good focus & contrast, light rubber band mark shows in the front sky, faint striations in

BURT
LAKE (TUSCARORA TOWNSHIP, CHEBOYGAN COUNTY). "BEACH AT SAGER'S RESORT"

mailed 19 AUG 1912 (complete MACK. RICH. R.P.O. hand cancel) to Mrs. Frank
Lackey in Richmond Indiana, small upper corner crease only in sky, oxidation
consistent with age. Rare. Why? Probably taken in the off season, its
lengthy docks are bare of boaters & fishermen enjoying themselves. If
sent, the caption does not even mention what state they are in, let alone
what lake! Seriously, if you were their customer and had a great time
there, would you want this as your memento? Advertising at its least
effective & most ludicrous. SALE IN PROGRESS m(b)g(s)-r

crease, oxidation consistent with age, minor corner rounding, scrape on back
affects but 2 handwritten letters, several caption letters clipped at the
bottom front but postcard is full regular size. Charlevoix was a frequently
visited summer resort at the time, accounting for the large number of
excursionists. Hard to find, because many people would not have enough clues
to figure out the caption. $30.00 m(c)s(l)g(d)
